Monday

i sort of

i sort of liked this boy
recently
and i just want to write about it, okay?
i want to write about a lot of things
here
on my blog
because i want to remember exactly
how they felt
but i hesitate because it's public
after all

and then i think
oh well
who cares
and i go and say something like

i DID like him and
we enjoyed each others company and
what shouldn't matter are
the complicated things because
what does matter
is how we feel

right?

why am i always the dreamer
the over thinker
the live in this moment because
that's really all we have
person?

and now i will move on.

Sometimes the complicated things do matter, more than how you feel. I feel really good about eating chocolate every day. Real good. But guess what, that's not what's best for everyone, especially me and my waistline. k that was a bad example, but you know what I mean ;)

Amy- why isn't eating chocolate every day best for you and everyone? because of social norms that we have been taught? (such as being fat, etc.) and even then, you can eat one ounce of chocolate every single day and probably have no problem.
mom- this post is not about who you think it's about:) if it were about him, the beginning line would say "i sort of LOVED this boy."

I think it's okay to just eat chocolate if you feel you need chocolate. And I think it's okay to be fat if you want to (but only if you want to...don't complain about it if you don't) and I think it's okay to love and it's okay to hate. And it's really okay to cry...even in front of others. And sometimes...things are complicated whether you like it or not. Only you can decide if it's worth it. Cause you're the one who knows what you want. Quit worrying about whether other people think it's okay to eat pizza and donuts in bed!!! :)

Michelle I want to print your commment out and stick it on my bathroom mirror. i like people who think like you.

love after love

The time will come when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say
sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger
who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread.
Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life...

Take down the love
letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs,
the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit.
Feast on your life.

~Derek Walcott
